Benefits of technology

[0005]Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to manufacture display devices with improved image quality and reliability or display devices with a large screen at low cost with high productivity.
[0041]Further, since a wet process can be employed for manufacturing an electrode layer of a display element, efficiency in the use of materials can be high, and a cost reduction and a productivity improvement can be achieved because expensive facilities such as a large vacuum apparatus can be reduced. Thus, according to the present invention, highly functional and highly reliable display devices and electronic appliances can be manufactured at low cost with improved productivity.

Problems solved by technology

However, there has been a problem such that if the above-described conductive polymer is used for an electrode layer in a display device or the like, high reliability cannot be obtained in the display device.

Abstract

To manufacture display devices with improved image quality and reliability or display devices with a large screen at low cost with high productivity. An electrode layer containing a conductive polymer is used as an electrode layer of a display element in a display device and an inorganic insulating film serving as a passivation film is provided between the electrode layer and a display layer. Ionic impurities in the electrode layer are easily ionized and become mobile ions and thereby deteriorating a liquid crystal material or the like which is included in a display layer in a display element. Ionic impurities in the electrode layer are prevented from moving into a display layer by the inorganic insulating film. Thus, the reliability of the display device can be improved.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to display devices including a display element which includes electrode layers.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Conductive polymers are widely used as a conductive material or an optical material for various devices in the electrical and electronics industry because of their high processability. Novel conductive polymer materials are developed to improve conductivity and processability of a conductive polymer for practical application.[0003]For example, an alkali metal, a halogen, or the like is added to a conductive polymer as a dopant in order to improve conductivity (for example, see Patent Document 1: Japanese Published Patent Application No. 2003-346575).DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION[0004]However, there has been a problem such that if the above-described conductive polymer is used for an electrode layer in a display device or the like, high reliability cannot be obtained in the display device.[0005]Therefore, it is an object of the present invent...
